DW barrel dimensions
« on: October 25, 2011, 05:36:29 PM »
Hi to all. I am thinking about DW-style barrel (large frame, 44 Magnum or one of Supermagnums) on other handguns and would appreciate if somebody could take few minutes and take a measurement as per this drawing:




Many thanks, Onty.

This was done on Ruger Redhawks several years back by Hamilton Bowen, I believe. You don't see it done very often now, especially with the price of the Dan Wesson shrouds. I admit to being curious if the small-frame Dan Wesson shroud can be fitted to a Ruger GP-100.

Many thanks Danny!

As for the sleeve, barrel and nut, I am going to make my own. Thinking about reworking Redhawk.

Regards, Onty

Good morning
Super idea..   
There is a new outfit making DW accesories.. EWK Arms.  You might want to give them a look for barrels & shrouds.
